Senior lecturer, David Gariff, explores the powerful attraction of the story of the Passion of Christ for the composer and western artists. In Bach’s St. John and St. Matthew Passions, as well as in countless depictions in paintings and film, the drama of the Passion has served as an inspiration for profound musical and visual storytelling.
This hybrid lecture is offered in person and virtually. All registrants will receive a recording after the event.
In conjunction with a Gallery celebration of Bach’s birthday on March 31.
